The reward for more information in the homicide case of Demarius Reed, the slain Eastern Michigan University football player, has been doubled.

The reward is now $10,000, upped from the original $5,000 award announced Monday, thanks to a contribution from University Green Apartments, the complex where Reed was found shot-to-death Friday morning.

EMU is offering $2,500 of the reward, Crime Stoppers is offering $2,500 and University Green is offering the rest.

The case, along with three assaults in the area that have happened since, remains unsolved.

Tips can be submitted by calling 1-800-SPEAK UP (1-800-773-2587), online at www.1800speakup.org or via text to CRIMES (274637).
